Console

A console plugin for the lite text editor

Install

Navigate to the data/plugins folder and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/rxi/console

Alternatively the init.lua file can be renamed console.lua and dropped in the data/plugins folder.

Basic Usage

A basic command can be ran in the console by using the console:run command (ctrl+shift+.). The default console view at the bottom of the screen can be toggled with ctrl+.; additional console views can be opened with the console:open-console command.

Build Systems

Following is an example of how you can set up a build system for a project. This code should be put in the project module (accessed by running the core:open-project-module command):

local core = require "core"
local command = require "core.command"
local keymap = require "core.keymap"
local console = require "plugins.console"

command.add(nil, {
  ["project:build-project"] = function()
    core.log "Building..."
    console.run {
      command = "./build.sh",
      file_pattern = "(.*):(%d+):(%d+): (.*)$",
      on_complete = function() core.log "Build complete" end,
    }
  end
})

keymap.add { ["ctrl+b"] = "project:build-project" }
